Really? One of nature’s deadliest creatures? Did you do any research whatsoever? A hippo would slaughter your entire family. The forensic team will be piecing them back together from a paste of viscera and bone splinters. Santa would have to be a Patrick Bateman level psychopath to gift you a hippopotamus. Let’s say by some miracle you get the most docile hippo in existence, how exactly are you qualified to care for it? A hippo absolutely cannot live in your garage. The whole thing is just absurd. It’s a stupid thing to ask for. I’ll tell you what you’re getting for christmas – trampled.
